    Good finds. Are you doing it yourself or with a lawyer? Maybe consult with one to confirm your research?

    IMHO "examination of application" is somewhat a vague term. I'm not 100% sure it can only be interpreted as the interview. It could be well before interview. E.g. at any point that USCIS examines the application to sent biometric appointment, or review file to determine if RFE is needed etc. I wouldn't risk it and would apply 3 month after living in new state.

    IMHO this opens opportunity for mini stokes-like interview which may be unnecessary. More questions due to embassy employee getting excited to see both people. And US citizen doesn't have much leverage anyways in that situation. As an analogy (and I get it, people may not like it), my work visa sponsoring employer didn't come to the embassy interview with me to show the job offer was real. I heard at least from two lawyers US citizen presence rarely helps to get visa approved, and in some cases may hurt if interview goes off the rails. I don't have personal experience with this, so may be wrong.

    Wait a minute, did you personally get invitation for the K-1 interview? Usually it's only the beneficiary who goes to it. Unless you were invited, it's generally a bad idea to go to that interview with your foreign fiance. As regards to the job, you need to be truthful and say you're switching jobs if asked, if you need to attend the interview.

    Not following USCIS instructions means greater chance of things going wrong. It may be better, but that's NOT what USCIS asked to do.

    Let us know when you get the letter, please. AFAIK, it's not shown there, but maybe I am wrong.

    Usually comes within few weeks, can take up to 6 weeks.

    Fun fact: there is no processing times published for it! On the other hand, my case is at WAC and processing times changed at least 4 times now, so it doesn't matter much.

    Include I-751 receipt with your N-400 packet. In cover letter mention you have a pending Removal Of Conditions petition and ask for combo interview.
  10. OldUser
    My understanding is, your receipt will also say IOE. This is the "virtual" service center.

    The local field office can be found here: https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ Select "I-485" for the Form, "Family-Based adjustment applications" for the Form Category. It will show the list of all offices. Find the closest to you.

    Apply after moving to the new address, as long as it is in the 90 day window after entering the US. What you're quoting is related to naturalization petition (N-400) and does not apply to AOS.

    Generating and printing letters is simple as 1-2-3, it's all automated, software can do it. But adjudicating cases requires human intervention... But I get what you're saying. They should do their job better!
  14. OldUser
    It's unlikely we're going to find out. The OP was last active July 2022. Considering how long the AOS is taking nowadays, I wouldn't be surprised if the case is still pending 😃

    I think there's a difference between allowing fraud for 4 years vs allowing it for the rest of the life (could be 40 years). Fraud could be caught during N-400, but it can become more difficult if somebody applies under 5 year rule. Plus another stage in immigration process is another review and another opportunity to catch fraud. I lost the thread with I-751 stats, but don't forget the big numbers... Even with 2% denial rate for each 100000 cases we're talking about 2000 potential fraudsters. That's a small town! And if naturalized, they're going to use all the benefits this country has to offer. In a lot of cases they'll sponsor somebody else (spouse, kids, parents) meaning even more people piggibacking on that fraudster.

    Why not just 24 month extension? Why carry both?
  17. OldUser
    For sure, I think what @Jazii meant extending the validity of conditional resident card by issuing a new card with new end date instead of extension letter. Say, somebody's GC expires 01/01/2023. Similar to 48 month extension letter, USCIS could issue GC ending 01/01/2027. Then no airline or employer would be confused about those extension letters. But it's only in our dreams...

    Meanwhile in another thread

    You guys have a very high risk tolerance. Good luck!
  21. OldUser
    I am a little confused. How is your case related to this thread? And how come it's still pending? In another thread you mentioned you filed a I-751 meaning you already have a conditional green card. According to you, I-751 petition was already denied, so you need to refile it with a lawyer and more evidence. Yes, you can see a therapist still and use it in new I-751 petition. There's nothing to send to USCIS until you file a new petition. Also, expect a question about this evidence, e.g. why you only saw therapist after I-751 denial.
  22. OldUser
    Yes, some people like @Crazy Cat's wife had to wait close to 4 years. In their case, they filed N-400 with I-751 pending. You can apply for citizenship whenever you become eligible. In many cases this can speed up approval for I-751. In other cases it won't have any effect at all.
  23. OldUser
    Great, that's the current status of your application then. Many people see message about unavailable status. It's USCIS website problem.

    Have you tried checking case status without login? https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/landing.do

    Are you affiliated with Jim Hacking in any shape of form? 😃 It's definitely worth getting an opinion on the show. My impression is, he has a rather large firm with many attorneys and notatios (yes, the ones he's complaining about). So OP may not get Jim himself working on his case or representing him at the interview. All I know OP's case is not as straightforward.
